Designers Collective

Built by locals. Worn with pride.

The Designers Collective is a collaborative platform by KID Collective created to spotlight local artists and designers through wearable art. We believe creativity thrives in community—and this is where your work gets the stage it deserves.

You bring the art. We handle the production, fulfillment, and promotion.

What Is the Designers Collective?

Designers Collective is a curated merch line dedicated to showcasing local designers and artists through exclusive apparel and accessory collections.

Each selected artist receives:

  • A dedicated artist profile page on the KID Collective website
  • An exclusive collection featuring your original designs
  • Professional production, fulfillment, and customer service
  • Promotion through KID Collective platforms, campaigns, and local events

This is more than merch—it’s a collaboration rooted in community and local pride.

Who This Is For

We’re looking for:

  • Local artists, illustrators, and designers
  • Creatives with a distinct style or point of view
  • Artists who value collaboration and community
  • Anyone who wants their work worn, not just posted

You don’t need a massive following—just original work and passion for your craft.

Creative Freedom (With Light Structure)

Your style stays yours.

We simply ask that:

  • Artwork is original and owned by you
  • Designs align with the LOCAL KID / KID Collective identity
  • Final designs are approved collaboratively

We aim to protect both the artist’s vision and the integrity of the brand.

Compensation

Artists are compensated through a revenue-sharing model on every item sold from their collection.

Exact terms are discussed transparently before launch so expectations are clear on both sides.
